Makes - 12 servings

Ingredients

• 1-pound sliced bacon, diced
• 1 medium sweet onion, chopped
• 6 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 4 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1-1/2 cups 4% cottage cheese
• 1-1/4 cups shredded Swiss cheese

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, cook bacon and onion over medium heat until bacon is crisp; drain. In a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients; stir in bacon mixture. Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish.
• Bake, uncovered, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 35-40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

Test Kitchen tips

• Create a pretty burst of color and fresh flavor by adding a pinch of minced herbs to the egg mixture. Thyme and parsley are perfect candidates; try 1 teaspoon fresh or 1/4 teaspoon dried.
• Cottage cheese is surprisingly versatile and almost disappears into this dish when baked.
• Assemble a day in advance, and bake just before serving.
